A stunning visual tale... The graphic novel was invented for important human stories like this * Chris Mould *
Full of humour, heart, and a decent amount of gross-out moments, Martin's coming-of-age memoir hits all the right notes. The vibrant, action-packed panels offer plentiful details for readers to pore over, from scenes of crowded family chaos to the sights of Mexico. A retro yet timeless story of family and identity. * Kirkus, starred review *
Poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, and masterfully weaves road trip misadventures with history and family legacies. This is one of those books that kids will pass to their friends as soon as they have finished it. * Victoria Jamieson, creator of National Book Award Finalist When Stars Are Scattered *
This is really a life-is-stranger-than-fiction book filled with adventure, discovery, unforgettable people, hijinks, crazy haircuts, and real-life superheroes. A wonderful summer read for kids (and adults!) of all ages. * Nicole Miller, Barbara's Books bookseller *
There's much to savor here, from the thoughtful exploration of bicultural identity to the good-natured snarky teasing of siblings to pivotal moments of growth amid guileless kidhood. It's a tightrope balancing act of antic humor and genuine pathos, and Martin pulls it off with tremendous flair. * Booklist, starred review *
Equal parts hilarious and tear-jerking moments abound, rendered in a cartoon style with vibrant color palates that shift depending on the sequence's tone. This artistically inventive read, which teems with lively characters and emotion, is a joy to behold. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
...filled with adventure, discovery, unforgettable people, hijinks, crazy haircuts, and real-life superheroes. A wonderful summer read... * Nicole Miller, Barbara's Books bookseller (and on Goodreads) *
Mexikid is a delightful story packed with family history, culture, closeness... and a Winnebago full of laughs. * Terri Libenson, New York Times, bestselling author of Emmie & Friends series *
Soaked in a reality that few can master on the page as well, Mexikid may be one of the best comics I've ever read for this age range. One of the most enjoyable books you'll encounter out there. A true modern day classic. * School Library Journal *
